New Jersey Gov. Christie endorses former Republican rival Trump

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb 26 (Reuters) - New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie endorsed Republican presidential front-runner
Donald Trump on Friday, saying his former rival for the White
House had the best chance at beating Democratic candidate
Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 election.

"The best person to beat Hillary Clinton in November on that
stage last night is undoubtedly Donald Trump," Christie said at
a news conference held ahead of a Trump campaign rally in Texas.
"They do not know the playbook with Donald Trump because he is
rewriting the playbook."
